If applicants concept note submission is selected and short-listed to be developed into a full proposal, the following requirements are essential for established organisations, but not mandatory, particularly, for nascent organisations to be eligible to apply for an OSISA grant:

Have a mission and implement programmes that are consistent with open society values;

Demonstrate the ability to operate in a clear niche and be a significant actor within that arena (demonstrated by a record of producing materials, having conducted research and/or advocacy, and having implemented programmes at a sub-regional, national or region-wide level);

Demonstrate the ability to operate a well-managed and financially viable operation, alternatively be open to being assisted to develop financial and operational systems that are in line with good practice and standards. (This will be done either through OSISA or a fiscal agent).

Sound and strong track record of success and impact on target population or area of work (as evidenced by the submission of independent programmatic evaluations that are less than two years old);

A clear strategic vision for the organization, and an articulation of how this vision will assist the organisation to address the needs of the population and/or open society issue for which it requires support and funding.

Open society initiative Kindly when will call for proposal be open for East Africa especially Kenya? Our organization Nkoko iju Africa formerly known as Kisauni Peer educators is Best at the coast and have always been advocating and rapid response for the rights of Key population without any funding but little contribution from members. Violence extortion has always been the order of the day among the sex workers community but with minimum resources we only manage very little. How do you give your grants to Kenyan organization?
